Abstract

We study the subshift behavior of one dimensional cellular automata and we show how to associate to any subshift of finite type a cellular automaton which contains it. The relationships between some topological properties of subshifts and the behavior of the related languages are investigated. In particular we focus our attention to the notion of full transitivity. We characterize the language related to a full transitive subshift extending the notion of irreducibility.
